Interesting to see Nintendo’s take on the drums. I’m not a fan of hitting defferent buttons to hit different drums. Takes it away from the real thing.

After seeing all those game previews lately (mostly SC2 and Diablo 3), I thought to myself it was time to upgrade my old PC. First of all I gave my old PC to my dad, great upgrade for him. It was a AMD 64 3000+ / 1gig of ram / 160 hard drive / ati radeon x800 pro / etc… To get things straight, I’m not building the top of the line machine here. I started shopping around for good prices and to give me an idea of the new technologies that came out since I built my old machine. I got some ideas of what I want but any suggestions are appreciated. I started by ordering a Thermaltake® Armor Jr mid size case. I thought it was nice looking and wasn’t to much expensive, cost me around 100$ CA. Also got a OCZ GameXStream 850W PSU, should provide me plenty of power of what I’m looking for (150$ CA).

Those two items were at my door today. The case is well built, steal frame with a bit of aluminum in front. The only thing I found a bit cheaply made was the hard drive cage. Overall the case looks awesome and will do for what I need. The OCZ GameXStream PSU in other hands is a monster. It as plenty of connectors and as a 120mm fan to keep it cooled.

I also ordered a Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3Ghz,EVGA nForce 750i SLI Socket 775 Motherboard and Thermaltake Silent 775D CPU Fan. I’m supposed to get those itesm next week. I will continue to review my build next week with the new pieces.
